    Evening all :)

    Couldn't get back on yesterday because I couldn't get my iPad to charge..all sorted now( well till I let it run out of charge again) :)

    Anyway thank you so much to the op for the John Lewis hampers I picked mine up today and I am really pleased, the basket is lovely :)

    Hope everyone is well :)

    How did you get it to charge ? I've been trying to charge up a latop that hasn't been used for over a year and it just won't charge - I planned to take it to Sri Lanka for one of the staff' children but I'd like to get the battery working otherwise she will have to use it on mains power all the time. Any tips would be gratefully received !

    Here's a few more, you can tick off the ones he's already used:):

    He's too tired
    He's not tired
    He's thirsty
    He's hungry
    He has to pee
    He has to poo
    He has to pee again
    He forgot he has to watch more cartoons
    He's wearing the wrong pyjamas
    His sleeves are too short
    He has a hair in his mouth
    He needs a tissue
    His pyjama leg is pulled up
    He's too hot
    He's very freezing cold
    His toes are sticking out
    He needs to play Wii Golf
    The coat-hanger is crooked (like this! pointing his elbow to the ceiling)
    There is a tiny corner of a sock sticking out of his dresser drawer
    His tummy feels warm
    He has to go pick up the fork he dropped at supper
    He just wants one more big hug
    He's mad at me
    He needs to talk to granddad. “On the pone.”
    He forgot to put his teddy to bed
    It’s too dark
    It’s too bright
    He thinks it’s “actually still daytime”
    His eye is too itchy
    His bed is too small
    His hair is too long
    He’d like to know if he could please have a lollipop
    His red shoes need to go into the living room
    Basically the entire contents of his bedroom need to be cleared out into the living room
    He just needs to do a cough. *cough cough*
    He just has to tell me one more thing
    He thinks he needs a plaster
    Or maybe an ice pack
    He wants a different blanket
    He wanted a different bedtime story
    He forgot to give Daddy a kiss
    He forgot to give the cat a kiss
    He forgot to brush his tongue
    There’s a fly in his room
    His blankets aren’t “all cover me up”
    His eyes can’t close
    He wants to have a sleepover!
    He has to show me a dance
    He has to finish his hiccups
    He just needs three more minutes

    Ahhh there's some gems on there. I can defo cross a few of them off already. I just love the sheer randomness of some.

    It's like a little game to him. I kiss him goodnight, go downstairs, get called up again minutes later, listen to the newest complaint, fix it, deal with it, ignore it, etc. Say goodnight, give him another kiss then he falls asleep. It's quite cute really :D
    Life is not about learning to avoid the storms - it's about learning to dance in the rain.

    Cos if you email/phone them and and tell them the sad tale of how you've missed the party you wanted them for, they usually refund you !

    How are you going to collect have you got a transit ?:rotfl::rotfl:

    No idea... I think it is too big for the back of my car, although it is like a van without the seats in. I think I would need a transit van (I am being good as I removed the term 'tr*nny van')

    Knowing OH, it is likely I would not get this one but it is lovely and has planted a seed in his head.

    Because then you get a refund, and often you have only paid for the LYB cards and postage :D Then occasionally the cards turn up anyway and suddenly you have two birthdays:D
